The definition of prayer is to: address a solemn request or expression of thanks to a deity or other object of worship. What are some of the thoughts that come to mind when you hear the word prayer? I think about prayer as alone intimate time with God, depending on the space I am in or current circumstances prayer is my time to confess my sins, repent, asking for help, asking for guidance and healing, or intercepting on behalf of a friend ,family member or strangers in need . The irony is many of us will only  call on God in the  darkest moments in our lives ,but when it comes to consulting with him when it comes to planning and our purpose, we believe that those areas that it is up to us to figure out on our own. He not only listens to our concerns or confessions He is ready to listen to the desires of our heart and is waiting for us to ask for what we want.  Asking for what we want is a display of our faith in how big and amazing God truly is, and we must remember that our purpose, our dreams were given to us by God. We need to lean and rely on God in every area of our life because in order to elevate in spirit we must know that there is no elevation flesh. The next level only exists through Christ. How long will you continue to suffer in silence, in fear, and guilt when the answers to all of our questions, concerns, and hopes is already available to us waiting on us to open our mouth, minds, and our heart to receive.

Today I pray that my brothers and sisters begin to let go of the desires to be in control, and begin to be delighted in God’s word. I pray that we begin to see ourselves as worthy individuals of His love and blessings coming our way. I pray that we begin to believe that all things are possible if we would have faith even the size of a mustard seed. I pray that the spirit of limits and fear be broken, and we rise in love without limits. I pray that we begin to praise God for what he has promised, I pray we begin to trust in Him and not be afraid no mortal enemy can touch what God has blessed. For God has put a plan into our minds, a plan that will carry out his purposes, I pray that we open our minds to understand and appreciate everything we have endured and will ever endure is to carry out God’s Purpose Amen.
